Abstract excerpt
Activating mutations in the region of the beta-catenin gene corresponding to the NH2-terminal phosphorylation sites of glycogen synthetase kinase 3beta have been causally implicated in carcinogenesis. In this study, the beta-catenin exon 3 was examined in hepatic lesions induced by diethylnitrosamine in B6C3F1 mice. PCR and DNA sequencing detected seven beta-catenin mutations in 13 samples dissected from...
